§
Motion made and Question proposed:
That the Unemployment Assistance (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1935 (Termination) Order, 1936, dated the fifteenth day of July, nineteen hundred and thirty-six, made by the Minister of Labour under the
942
Unemployment Assistance (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1935, a copy of which was presented to this House on the said fifteenth day of July, be confirmed."—[Mr. E. Brown.]
§ 12.33 a.m.
§ Mr. HARDIEI desire to ask the Minister of Labour whether he is prepared to withdraw the statement he made which was equal to a slur upon the government of the city of Glasgow. If the statement was true there would not have been one case such as that in existence. It would have been a general rule. The Minister knows that his officials were out, not to see that nothing was wrong, but always in the hope that they would see something wrong to catch up the Labour government in Glasgow. I want to ask whether he will withdraw 943 the slur he has cast on the fair name of Glasgow?
§ Mr. E. BROWNI have nothing to withdraw. I stand by every word I said in that respect.
§ Mr. HARDIEIt was Mr. Leonard on the Board who framed up that case and
§ took you to it. You did not know anything about it. You have been taken in. I will deal with you in Glasgow.
§ Question put.
§ The House divided: Ayes, 339; Noes, 146.
